      pktgen: introduce xmit_mode '<start_xmit|netif_receive>' · 62f64aed
      Alexei Starovoitov 提交于
      Introduce xmit_mode 'netif_receive' for pktgen which generates the
      packets using familiar pktgen commands, but feeds them into
      netif_receive_skb() instead of ndo_start_xmit().
      
      Default mode is called 'start_xmit'.
      
      It is designed to test netif_receive_skb and ingress qdisc
      performace only. Make sure to understand how it works before
      using it for other rx benchmarking.
      
      Sample script 'pktgen.sh':
      \#!/bin/bash
      function pgset() {
        local result
      
        echo $1 > $PGDEV
      
        result=`cat $PGDEV | fgrep "Result: OK:"`
        if [ "$result" = "" ]; then
          cat $PGDEV | fgrep Result:
        fi
      }
      
      [ -z "$1" ] && echo "Usage: $0 DEV" && exit 1
      ETH=$1
      
      PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
      pgset "rem_device_all"
      pgset "add_device $ETH"
      
      PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/$ETH
      pgset "xmit_mode netif_receive"
      pgset "pkt_size 60"
      pgset "dst 198.18.0.1"
      pgset "dst_mac 90:e2:ba:ff:ff:ff"
      pgset "count 10000000"
      pgset "burst 32"
      
      PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl
      echo "Running... ctrl^C to stop"
      pgset "start"
      echo "Done"
      cat /proc/net/pktgen/$ETH
      
      Usage:
      $ sudo ./pktgen.sh eth2
      ...
      Result: OK: 232376(c232372+d3) usec, 10000000 (60byte,0frags)
        43033682pps 20656Mb/sec (20656167360bps) errors: 10000000
      
      Raw netif_receive_skb speed should be ~43 million packet
      per second on 3.7Ghz x86 and 'perf report' should look like:
        37.69%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
        25.81%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] kfree_skb
         7.22%  kpktgend_0   [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] ip_rcv
         5.68%  kpktgend_0   [pktgen]          [k] pktgen_thread_worker
      
      If fib_table_lookup is seen on top, it means skb was processed
      by the stack. To benchmark netif_receive_skb only make sure
      that 'dst_mac' of your pktgen script is different from
      receiving device mac and it will be dropped by ip_rcv

      pktgen: RCU-ify "if_list" to remove lock in next_to_run() · 8788370a
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      The if_lock()/if_unlock() in next_to_run() adds a significant
      overhead, because its called for every packet in busy loop of
      pktgen_thread_worker().  (Thomas Graf originally pointed me
      at this lock problem).
      
      Removing these two "LOCK" operations should in theory save us approx
      16ns (8ns x 2), as illustrated below we do save 16ns when removing
      the locks and introducing RCU protection.
      
      Performance data with CLONE_SKB==100000, TX-size=512, rx-usecs=30:
       (single CPU performance, ixgbe 10Gbit/s, E5-2630)
       * Prev   : 5684009 pps --> 175.93ns (1/5684009*10^9)
       * RCU-fix: 6272204 pps --> 159.43ns (1/6272204*10^9)
       * Diff   : +588195 pps --> -16.50ns
      
      To understand this RCU patch, I describe the pktgen thread model
      below.
      
      In pktgen there is several kernel threads, but there is only one CPU
      running each kernel thread.  Communication with the kernel threads are
      done through some thread control flags.  This allow the thread to
      change data structures at a know synchronization point, see main
      thread func pktgen_thread_worker().
      
      Userspace changes are communicated through proc-file writes.  There
      are three types of changes, general control changes "pgctrl"
      (func:pgctrl_write), thread changes "kpktgend_X"
      (func:pktgen_thread_write), and interface config changes "etcX@N"
      (func:pktgen_if_write).
      
      Userspace "pgctrl" and "thread" changes are synchronized via the mutex
      pktgen_thread_lock, thus only a single userspace instance can run.
      The mutex is taken while the packet generator is running, by pgctrl
      "start".  Thus e.g. "add_device" cannot be invoked when pktgen is
      running/started.
      
      All "pgctrl" and all "thread" changes, except thread "add_device",
      communicate via the thread control flags.  The main problem is the
      exception "add_device", that modifies threads "if_list" directly.
      
      Fortunately "add_device" cannot be invoked while pktgen is running.
      But there exists a race between "rem_device_all" and "add_device"
      (which normally don't occur, because "rem_device_all" waits 125ms
      before returning). Background'ing "rem_device_all" and running
      "add_device" immediately allow the race to occur.
      
      The race affects the threads (list of devices) "if_list".  The if_lock
      is used for protecting this "if_list".  Other readers are given
      lock-free access to the list under RCU read sections.
      
      Note, interface config changes (via proc) can occur while pktgen is
      running, which worries me a bit.  I'm assuming proc_remove() takes
      appropriate locks, to assure no writers exists after proc_remove()
      finish.
      
      I've been running a script exercising the race condition (leading me
      to fix the proc_remove order), without any issues.  The script also
      exercises concurrent proc writes, while the interface config is
      getting removed.

      pktgen: avoid expensive set_current_state() call in loop · baac167b
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      Avoid calling set_current_state() inside the busy-loop in
      pktgen_thread_worker().  In case of pkt_dev->delay, then it is still
      used/enabled in pktgen_xmit() via the spin() call.
      
      The set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) uses a xchg, which implicit
      is LOCK prefixed.  I've measured the asm LOCK operation to take approx
      8ns on this E5-2630 CPU.  Performance increase corrolate with this
      measurement.
